Friends Are Fabulous!

I have been so busy in recent months but had the time to say "Woof!"...which...in dog language means, "I sure have missed visiting with you and if you have a treat I hope that you will share it with me." We canine's like to keep things simple.

I have had such an amazing week!  The sun has been shining almost every day, my people have shared almost every meal with me and my sisters AND I got to play with my friend Baby.  Baby lives next door.  The people say she is a Pit Bull. I just say, she is beautiful, and fun, and super-duper strong! 

I sit in front of the large magic portal in my lair and patiently wait for her to appear.  I then alert my people to the fact that she is awaiting my presence by uttering the most soulful sound I can muster.  They don't always understand me but I realize they are not the fastest learners and I humor them until they get it. Why they are considered the superior species is beyond me.

Once I am able to get my message across, my people open the door and I leap off the porch to greet my friend. We love to frolic and play! We tumble and run, chase and wrestle. It is something I look forward to every day!

One day, I went out to play with Baby and I took a toy out with me. That rascal took my toy next door and set it down on the grass, sat beside it and dared me to come and get it.  Being the gentleman that I pride myself in being, I let her have it. Who wanted that ratty old, delicious, favorite bone anyway?

After an hour of our frolicking, I was so exhausted I had to retreat to the indoors. Baby was not as tired as was I and she came to the door begging my people to let me back out.  Sometimes, it is best to ignore your own tiredness and take care of your friends when they need you.  I love Baby and I am so glad she is my friend.
